What does the sound of the golden bells signify in the ministry of the high priest?

Answered in 1 source

The golden bells symbolize the ongoing intercession of the high priest and the assurance of accomplished redemption.

The golden bells were attached to the hem of the high priest's robe and rang as he ministered in the holy place. This sound served as a reminder to the people that their high priest was actively interceding for them before God. The ringing of the bells is a metaphor for the gospel's proclamation and the assurance of salvation that believers have through Christ. It signifies that while we cannot see our High Priest in heaven, we can hear the testimony of His work on our behalf. Understanding this sound comforts believers by affirming that their redemption and relationship with God are secure through the continual ministry of Christ.
